[thelist] GnuPG and Coldfusion

[Bruce Heerssen]

Well, my boss wants to store credit card numbers in our database (over 
my strong objection) so now I need to get them encrypted. This is not 
something I've done before. I'm reading up on the subject, but the docs 
seem a little unclear - can someone provide a basic rundown of the 
process starting from the time CF receives the credit card data to the 
time it transmits the encrypted data to the database?

We are using CF 4.5 on Solaris with Oracle on a seperate Solaris server. 
I am looking at using GnuGP

(http://www.gnupg.org)

Any other advice (pitfalls, etc) would also be well received.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
